VISUAL portal

One of the objectives of the VISUAL Project was the development of an accessible portal that can be browsed by means of speech. By creating an e-learning portal, the Consortium tried to take advantage of the benefits of the e-learning method, and of the technology developed by VISUAL. Therefore the Consortium managed to offer multilingual educative contents that are accessible by any citizen of the European Community.

The Portal has a Forum option that focuses on e-Learning and accessibility issues. The forum is both accessible and usable. The consortium used XML to store the QTI examples on the Examples Section and in the Test section. The XSLT language was used in the portal to transform the QTI examples in the Examples Section.

During this last year (after the Final Review), the Portal has been updated and improved adding news related to accessibility, receiving questions at the forum, having new subscriptions, etc.
